Table 1. Ranking of transmission routes. Ranking of transmission routes by the proportion of inferred ancestries based on social network patterns. Column percentages add up to 100%. The overall rank was inferred from the sum of ranks of all scenarios.
Weight | Description | Scenarios | Rank | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
[birth_Basic] | [birth_E] | [birth_S] | [shed_Basic] | [shed_E] | [shed_S] | |||
6 | Cow-to-calf | 0.0% | 0.0% | 4.0% | 1.0% | 0.0% | 3.0% | 7 |

4 | Adult-to-adult contact during the infectious period | 24.8% | 49.5% | 42.6% | 33.3% | 69.7% | 59.6% | 1 |
3 | Longer direct contact | 29.7% | 20.8% | 24.8% | 19.2% | 7.1% | 9.1% | 2 |

a For 128–101 = 27 isolates (in [birth] scenarios) and for 128–99 = 31 isolates (in [shed] scenarios), no ancestor could be found within the genomic distance threshold of 6 SNPs and, thus, no transmission route could be inferred. Each of these 27 and 31 isolates was the root of a separate transmission tree.
